Fantastic escalation and anticipation。 I wish we had more time with the siblings and their character building。 But I appreciate the POVs of Lucan and Mackenzie。 Please tell me the next book is soon!
C,
Great ReadLoved this series, normally a fan of longer series but 3 books allowed for plenty of world and character building and a full story to be wrapped up without feeling rushed。

easily the best book in the series I have been anxiously awaiting this book ! This book picks up right where we left off ! Dual povs form Lucan and McKenzie! so much growth between the characters as individuals so much happened a lot of action and family bonds plays a huge part in this if you’re looking for romance this book isn’t it not really because for the most of the entire book the two MCs are apart but if you’re looking for character development, action , bonding , friendship and a deepen easily the best book in the series I have been anxiously awaiting this book !

Dina,
I think that these books were written for teens。 They are extremely preachy and there are no love scenes。 And although I was not the target audience I did not like them because of quality of writing。

GoodPicking up from the brutal cliffhanger in book two, we join Mackenzie and Lucan just after Mackenzie surrenders herself to the group that once experimented on her。Told in dual point of view, the tale spans a little more than six months。 Mackenzie suffers some really bad things, and although they are not detailed, if you have rape or torture triggers, consider this your warning。 Forced by her captors to do things she would rather not do, Mackenzie struggles to keep her sanity and her moral co GoodPicking up from the brutal cliffhanger in book two, we join Mackenzie and Lucan just after Mackenzie surrenders herself to the group that once experimented on her。Told in dual point of view, the tale spans a little more than six months。 Mackenzie suffers some really bad things, and although they are not detailed, if you have rape or torture triggers, consider this your warning。 Forced by her captors to do things she would rather not do, Mackenzie struggles to keep her sanity and her moral compass。Lucan is suffering from an unreciprocated mate-bond。 He has to learn to drop his prejudices, and come to terms with everything that he has lost。Ultimately, Mackenzie learns that she can, in fact, stay as moral as possible, while Lucan learns a little humility and the value of not listening to gossip!This third book in the series has some very big events, and happily for us, it ends at a natural pause point- rather than another cliffhanger! The tale isn’t yet finished however, and the reader will definitely want to learn more! (There are some big characters that really need to get their just desserts!)。This was an engrossing read, with some heart-rending situations and takes an agonizingly (though far from boring) length of time to see the situations dealt with。 It’s a fantastic addition to the series, and readers will enjoy seeing the growth of the characters。Recommended for contemporary fantasy fans (just make sure you read the first two books before this one)。 。。。more
Dreadyjen,
This seemed like the end was rushed there really wasn't a family scene and that needed to happen 。。the reunion with Brooke didn't happen 。。 and we don't get the scene of Kenzie finding out about him being outed from his tribe and taking her name? and what about the dragons and the purity movement? Wth This seemed like the end was rushed there really wasn't a family scene and that needed to happen 。。the reunion with Brooke didn't happen 。。 and we don't get the scene of Kenzie finding out about him being outed from his tribe and taking her name? and what about the dragons and the purity movement?

Sarah,
Book three is split POV - we pick up with what happens after the cliffhanger in book 2。 Lucan struggles with what to do after the revelation of who Mackenzie is, and we spend a good portion of his POV on what he does next to be able to get her back。 Additionally, what would you do if your job defined you and all of sudden it's gone- and what would you do next? We see Lucan grow a lot in this, and the connections that Mackenzie made help him grow along the way。We also see Makenzie turn back into Book three is split POV - we pick up with what happens after the cliffhanger in book 2。 Lucan struggles with what to do after the revelation of who Mackenzie is, and we spend a good portion of his POV on what he does next to be able to get her back。 Additionally, what would you do if your job defined you and all of sudden it's gone- and what would you do next?

Christi,
I don't know how I feel about this one, though some of this stems from me mistakenly thinking this was going to be a trilogy。 There were a number of punctuation issues, but I read the Kindle book and it just came out so maybe they'll be corrected over time。 Overall I did like the book and will continue the series as it comes out, below critique may seem harsh but that is because I like it and am interested to see where it goes。While I enjoyed the big showdown at the end, I wanted more from the e I don't know how I feel about this one, though some of this stems from me mistakenly thinking this was going to be a trilogy。 There were a number of punctuation issues, but I read the Kindle book and it just came out so maybe they'll be corrected over time。 Overall I did like the book and will continue the series as it comes out, below critique may seem harsh but that is because I like it and am interested to see where it goes。While I enjoyed the big showdown at the end, I wanted more from the epilogue。 The epilogue didn't take place at all in the future and was just a continuation of the final chapter - it didn't even introduce an idea of what plot line will be followed next。 I can appreciate the need for Kenzie's family and friends to need time to find her, but the entire book was spent talking about the countdown to Lucan's end and then everything is solved in two lines。 Lucan's personal growth through the book was great, but there is no relationship development between them since they spend the entire book apart。 The element of a "breeding program" on the government's behalf was mentioned all of twice - NO, I did not want details and believe the special mind room was an excellent way around that, but this isn't their first time employing this tactic and they had her for over 6 months so it definitely would have happened more frequently。 They spent a suspicious amount of time with dubious food and torture punishment tactics, neither of which is exactly conducive to their goal。 She needed to continue going on missions for the eventual trap her family uses to free her to be a success and she is one of the agency's best weapons (none of the missions were dangerous so they could believably still use her), but the food and torture/beatings seem to misalign with their endgame。 I also have a very hard time believing they would have picked Ben as the first candidate。The introduction of the rebellion to the Purity Movement was lightly woven in and I am assuming this will be the focus of the next book, along with Kenzie mentally recovering from her ordeal。 Curious to see if the families Kenzie and her crew have helped to save will make a return appearance。 One of the dragon shifters showed up at the guild after Kenzie told him a long time ago to seek them if he ever wanted other options which gives me hope for the three girls from the first book making a reappearance。 Kenzie hasn't seen or heard from them since the opening of the first book and at least the lead girl seemed to be an important piece。 I could be reading into that though。The idea of deities or magical spirits having anchored themselves using the Green family, while hinted at in the first novel when Kenzie spoke to the tree, feels very underdeveloped。 Ddear makes a shadow of an appearance in this book when Kenzie meets Evie who is an anchor for a different spirit and Ddear mentions she wants to right her mistakes and train Kenzie in her mental protection room。 I am just hoping the author isn't creating more plot lines all running concurrently than can reasonably be followed。 。。。more
